This is a long planed feature, TODO already lists "implement sending
mails to uploader", but also a quite complicated one. For one the error
reporting needs some revamping, as most error reporting currently goes
directly to stderro.
Then there is a question of where to send mails to. I guess one wants
something like a whitelist there, to make sure DDs are not pestered with
mails if someone tries to add their package to some local repository
somehwere in the world.
As an intermediate step, you might want to consider if it makes sense
for you to write this log to some place where users can look at them.
(as the repository generated is usually available via plain html,
making the log visible on the same way is usually easy, unless you
consider any information in there especially protectworthy).
